[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] RE: FCIP - Proposed changes in support of common FC encapsulationOnly one comment on this. You suggest the following text: "The FCIP receiving device MUST reverse the FC frame encapsulation process, verify the correctness of the header discarding frames with header errors, and deliver the FC frames to the correct FC ports connected to the FCIP device." The part about "discarding frames with header errors" is confusing because FCIP header errors will result in loss of synchronization and Section 8.1 will then define the action to be taken. - Sudhir -----Original Message----- From: Ralph Weber [mailto:ralphoweber@compuserve.com] Sent: Thursday, May 17, 2001 5:51 PM To: IPS Reflector Subject: FCIP - Proposed changes in support of common FC encapsulation In the 3rd paragraph of section 4.3, replace: Each FCIP data frame is built by adding an FCIP header to one FC frame delivered to the FCIP endpoint for transport. The FCIP data frames are handed in their entirety to TCP; TCP is responsible for delivering the same series of FCIP data frames to the receiving side in the same order as they are transmitted by the sending FCIP device. The FCIP device MUST find the FCIP headers and deliver the FC frames wrapped inside the FCIP data frames to the correct FC ports connected to the FCIP device. with: An FCIP data frame is built by encapsulating one FC frame delivered to the FCIP endpoint for transport using the encapsulation format described in the common FC Frame Encapsulation [23] and in section 5.2 of this document. The FCIP data frames are handed in their entirety to TCP; TCP is responsible for delivering the same series of FCIP data frames to the receiving side in the same order as they are transmitted by the sending FCIP device. The FCIP receiving device MUST reverse the FC frame encapsulation process, verify the correctness of the header discarding frames with header errors, and deliver the FC frames to the correct FC ports connected to the FCIP device.
